Subject: tracing: Append repeated boot-time tracing parameters
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=842b74e5ce05bb12f270689937092333c6c73f0e;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

tracing: Append repeated boot-time tracing parameters

Some tracing boot parameters already accept delimited value lists, but
their __setup() handlers keep only the last instance seen at boot.
Make repeated instances append to the same boot-time buffer in the
format each parser already consumes.

Use a shared trace_append_boot_param() helper for the ftrace filters,
trace_options, and kprobe_event boot parameters.

This also lets Bootconfig array values work naturally when they expand
to repeated param=value entries.

Before this change, only the last instance from each repeated
parameter survived boot.
